i love my car

why is it this car mirks every car i ever race...the only cars that would have a chance are always to expensive and would never actually run me...

just had a modded srt4 try and sho off to me then we ran 3 times from around 40...i put 2 cars on him by mid 3rd. he had a giant front mount and loud ass blow off valve..and his motor sounded mean...i thought it would be closer..im starting to think i got a freak..

then ran my roomates 2002 540i bmw i think it is...apperently under rated from factory and they actually have around 285 290 whp....40 roll put 3 cars on him by end of 3rd..then from a dig he put 1 car on my by mid second then stopped..but my tires are bald and my shitt just kept spinning...i need to practice launching this thing but im trying to baby the cluthch till i get some cash....honeslty though from 40 this car is the shitttttttttt....and lucky me thats about where everyone here runs from so its legit

ohh yah haha and ran an old single turboes supra had some work done...put busses on him..he pulls up to me and is like i have a boost leak..a bad one..haha...i was like watever...

for some reason people here get really upset when they lose and they get embarrassed hahah or however u spell it..this car seriousley crushes egos and sends people home like what the f*(& just happnd..i lost to a cobalt hahahhah i love it

Not sure who said those 540's are faster than M3's or make 290whp, but in fact they are mid 14 second cars and make 230-240whp stock.

The people in that forum are high on acid. A lot of those EuroDouchebags go to dynos that multiply the actual WHP by 1.2 and display an inflated Crank horsepower figure. This makes the Eurodouchebags ***** seem bigger than it is in 2 ways. 1, the number isn't even accurate since the powertain loss is less than 20%, and 2, they tell everyone "I dyno 290, stock." Then why do they run 14.5's stock? Easy, they don't race in a straight line, 4000lb BMW's are for the twisties, ya.

IE: Car makes 230whp

230whp x 1.2 = 276"Chp"
240whp x 1.2 = 288"Chp"

Get it? I assume this is your first dealings with the Eurodouchebag type. I'm happy I could educate you on their underhanded dealings.

All other speeds are unfair because the cobalt isn't at the perfect starting speed. Didn't you know? A race is only fair if you negate all of the design flaws of the cobalt. The best way to tell which car is really faster is to push both with exactly 100 N in a vacuum on a tuesday afternoon during the year of the rat. Going from a dig isn't fair because other cars are better at it, anything below 40 is too slow because other cars are better at it and going from too high a roll is unfair because the cobalt runs out of steam. Fair = cobalt winning, in case you didn't know.

I am not sure why. From 40 my car spins like mad and slams into the 7400 rpm rev limit at about 60 mph when it should be at 72 mph. FWD with anything over 330 wrtq will have lots of wheelspin issues in 2nd.

kinda since black gets dirty so damn fast.....and i never said anything about fairness or anything....i only said it just so happens everyone here goes about 40 when they run....dumb people may not have noticed this but majority of speed limits are around 40...so when people are cruisen and someone pulls up on you and u decide to run...guess what...your doing a 40 roll....wow...shocking....i dont know about you but that kinda makes me want my car to be good from a 40 roll...dig races are obnoxious..they take to long to find out which car is faster...40 roll u can just hit 40 to 80 or 90 and have a good idea on how fast each car is...from a dig its also loud as hell drawing attention to yourself..just not a good idea...on empty roads with cross streets a little roll race isnt so bad..assuming ur slowing down before u reach unreasonable speeds..dig races cause cars to reach higher speeds because the slower launching car is always going to try and catch up..which will take a lot longer than just a quick roll race...ur basically exposing yourself to be in trouble for a lot longer time period

Nice runs man!!! And about the SRT-4's, most guys have a catless DP with E-cutout, which sounds mean as ****. And when you hear one with it and you hear that turbo spool, you instantly think it's a beast.

I know what you mean about people always trying to pick on us. I had a New Edge Mustang GT, the Bullitt edition, he was reving like crazy and jumping in 1st gear trying to get me to do something, only thing is the traffic was too heavy for anything. Finally we got a light and I was in the front, he was behind me, the light turned green, I took off like normal, shifted into 2nd and took off. He tried getting into another lane and get in front of me, too bad for him that didnt quite work out for him, LOL. Also had an LT1 Camaro act like he wanted to go so I followed him when he punched it, I was on his ass, then he got over and took the exit. He is the douche bag who flipped my Wife off awhile back.
